‘Moments ago, Color War broke out.’
|
|
|
|
K-8 Principals Danielle Rothenberg and Rabbi Chanania Engelsman write: "Our 8th Graders have planned an incredible day and a half of programming and ruach (spirit) building for all K-8 students. Color War is a long-lasting tradition for students to connect with children in other grades and emerge as a more united student body. The K-8 competition gives the students the opportunity to showcase their Judaic knowledge, athletic, art, logic, and sportsmanship capabilities." More on Color War next week!

Geffen joins Lobel Teachers Colloquium |
|
|
|
AYA High School English teacher Susan Geffen is part of a select group of educators chosen to attend the The Lobel Teachers Colloquium at Princeton University.
The colloquium, sponsored by the Tikvah Fund and hosted in cooperation with Princeton’s James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, aims “to establish a community of educators interested in Jewish classical education.”
As described on the Tikvah Fund website, the fundamentals of Jewish classical education include K-12 study of the “classical arts of grammar, logic, and rhetoric”; in-depth examination of the canonical Jewish texts; early instruction in foreign languages; and recognition of the “exceptional nations” of America and Israel. Further, since Jewish ideas “lie at the heart of Western civilization, learning Western history, literature, and culture are the heritage and responsibility of every Jew.”
The colloquium will include instruction in principles of Jewish classical education, demonstrations of lessons and pilot materials, and work with Princeton University professors and experts from the Lobel Center. Further, participants will immerse themselves in Plato’s Apology, and, after the colloquium, continue their learning in Zoom Forums.
Ms. Geffen, who teaches English II and IV, as well as our High School music elective, believes her upcoming comprehensive training in Jewish classical education will mesh beautifully with the up-to-date rigorous educational goals of AYA’s Atid Plan.

It's time for all of us to "Come Together" for the Dallas Jewish Federation's Super Sunday! We are thrilled to bring this exciting event back to the community and our goal is to get everyone involved. We are reinventing Super Sunday into a bigger and more festive gathering, offering fun activities for families, raffles, and fundraising.
With our mission directed towards ensuring vibrant Jewish life, we recognize that the key to meeting its growing needs will require community collaboration. To raise the critical funds needed by our partner organizations, we are asking Akiba Yavneh Academy to join us by hosting a table of volunteers and leading the charge in fundraising and "thank you" calls.
